  • W6800x Duo Benchmarks Against Vega II Duo, 2x W5700X, and 2x 6900XT

    I received the W6800X Duo today and began running tests against other GPUs that I previously benchmarked. My setup includes a 28-core Mac Pro with 96GB of RAM, which I believe is a solid foundation for these evaluations. In the Geekbench 5 Metal test, the W6800X Duo scored an impressive 144,910. For those who are interested in its performance regarding hashing, each GPU achieved a hash rate of 58 MH/s.

    The total system draw was around 600 watts, with each GPU consuming between 175 watts and 200 watts. I plan to conduct additional benchmarking in the coming days, so if anyone has specific requests or tests they would like me to perform, feel free to reach out. It’s worth noting that the VRAM limitation likely accounts for the underperformance of the 6900 XT and W5700X when tested at 12K resolutions. This is a crucial factor to consider as it directly impacts the performance capabilities of the GPUs in high-resolution scenarios.

    Additionally, I took some time to test the Candle FPS benchmark in DaVinci Resolve. A thorough analysis of these results will follow, but it’s clear that the W6800X Duo holds a significant advantage in certain workloads. Overall, I am eager to dive deeper into the performance metrics and provide more insights into how the W6800X Duo stands up against its competitors. Stay tuned for further updates!

  • iOS 26 to Introduce U.S. Passport Feature in Wallet for Easy Identity Verification

    In the upcoming iOS 26, Apple is introducing an innovative Digital ID feature that enhances the existing integration of Driver’s Licenses within the Wallet app. Beginning this fall, iPhone users will have the capability to add a U.S. passport to their Wallet, enabling them to use it as a digital substitute for a physical passport during domestic travel.

    The Digital ID can be conveniently stored on both the iPhone and Apple Watch. Users can utilize it at designated TSA checkpoints across the United States.

    Significantly, this feature is compliant with Real ID requirements, allowing travelers to present a digital passport instead of a Real ID. However, it’s essential to note that while Digital IDs simplify domestic travel, they don’t replace physical passports.

    For international travel or border crossings, users will still need to carry their physical passports. Beyond its use in transportation, Digital IDs will be functional for age and identity verification across various platforms, including apps, retail locations, and, notably, websites in iOS 26.

    This new capability aims to extend digital identification access to a broader cohort of iPhone users. Currently, the rollout of IDs in the Wallet app is limited to a few U.S. states and territories, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, New Mexico, Ohio, and Puerto Rico.

    However, Apple is actively working to expand this feature. Additionally, the Wallet app will receive several enhancements for travelers.

    It includes a revamped boarding pass experience that provides users with a real-time overview of their flight and options to access maps for airport details and track luggage via Find My. Apple is collaborating with airlines such as Air Canada, American Airlines, Delta, and others to introduce these updated boarding pass features.
